case for all other bus interchanges (except the Eunos Bus Interchange) in which they are located in their respective town centres, the Hougang Bus Interchange was to be moved to the new town centre, while the existing facility was then converted to other uses. Its bus services were then amended to terminate at either Hougang Central or Punggol. When this plan was publicised, it created an uproar amongst the local populace, particularly shopowners in Hougang Street 21. With the help of local politicians, their discontentments were made to the relevant authorities, resulting in a delay in the interchange's closure. The government was adamant on removing the interchange, however, as it insists it makes little sense to have two bus interchanges in one town, and the opening of the Kovan MRT station on the North East Line will help to continue bringing in the crowds. It proceeded to build a new, permanent interchange, known as the Hougang Central Bus Interchange, and renamed the existing interchange as the Hougang South Bus Interchange. In the meantime, the vacated facility does occasionally hold atrium exhibitions and for other commercial uses. It is now converted into a community space with an open carpark on the former end-on berths. It also serves as a transit stop for coaches to and from Malaysia with routes from destinations such as Genting Highlands and Kuala Lumpur. Moreover, bus services 112, 113 and 119 still calls at the facility for passengers to alight and disembark there as a bus stop at the former sawtooth berths. Service 115 starts its journey from there and Service 53M layovers at the bus stop. Jurong Jurong Bus Interchange was a bus interchange in Singapore, located at the junction of Jalan Ahmad Ibrahim and Jurong Port Road. It was completed in 1978 at a cost of S$1.2 million, and was the first bus station in Singapore built to serve feeder services, which were then being introduced as part of a rationalisation plan by Singapore Bus Service. After it ceased operations in 1990, it functioned as a bus depot in the western part of Singapore before it was demolished when SBS Transit built a new multi storey bus depot (Soon Lee Bus Park) along Soon Lee Road in the Jurong Industrial Area. Some services went to Boon Lay, or cut back to Jurong East and Clementi respectively. Former bus terminals Jalan Kayu Jalan Kayu Bus terminal
